CNN is reporting that President Donald Trump is furious at his own press secretary for her handling of the Stormy Daniels scandal.

According to the network’s sources, Trump is upset at Sanders after she brought up the fact that Trump’s attorneys had won arbitration that granted a temporary restraining order against Daniels to prevent her from publicly discussing their past affair.

CNN says that Trump believes this admission on Sanders’ part didn’t kill the story and instead only gave it “steroids” so it would dominate further news cycles.

NBC News reported on Wednesday that Trump attorney Michael Cohen had been granted a “secret” restraining order against Daniels, who is now claiming that the nondisclosure agreement she signed in 2016 is invalid because Trump himself never signed it. But Daniels’ attorney, Michael Avenatti, said on Wednesday that his client would not be coerced by Cohen into backing off her pledge to tell her story.

UPDATE:

Trump upset with Sanders over Stormy Daniels response

By Jim Acosta and Veronica Stracqualursi, CNN

Updated 9:37 AM ET, Thu March 8, 2018

Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump is upset with White House press secretary Sarah Sanders over her responses Wednesday regarding his alleged affair with porn star Stormy Daniels, a source close to the White House tells CNN.

Daniels, whose legal name is Stephanie Clifford, filed suit against Trump this week alleging he hadn't signed a nondisclosure agreement that would have prevented her from discussing their alleged sexual affair.

On Wednesday, Sanders told reporters that the arbitration was won "in the President's favor." The statement is an admission that the nondisclosure agreement exists, and that it directly involves the President. It is the first time the White House has admitted the President was involved in any way with Daniels.

"POTUS is very unhappy," the source said. "Sarah gave the Stormy Daniels storyline steroids yesterday."

This week's developments are the latest installment in a continuing controversy for the White House involving Daniels, and a distraction from Trump's attempted rollout of tariffs on steel and aluminum imports.

5. The rest of my day

will be spent trying to unsee that!

[Maeve]

2. Please! It's not like he's going to fire her!

He only does that on 'reality' shows!

[deminks]

3. Who is left in the WH to know what Donnie thinks about Sarah Huckleberry?

John Barron?
Meredith McIver?

[McCamy Taylor]

9. Barron.

[RainCaster]

51. Donny thinks?

When did that start?

[Lochloosa]

4. You fucked her so fuck you. Let's blame everyone else as usual

[NCjack]

6. Sarah is an ignorant hick who doesn't know the meaning of "secret". #45 will fire her. nt

[OnDoutside]

13. Yet another Hick who may lose Hope

[dogknob]

33. Bada-boom

[susanna]

49. ...and Ms. Sanders will be left to ponder

the fact that she sold her soul for nothing. Zip. Nada.

I think that works out, actually.

Justice of an unusual variety.

[yallerdawg]

7. They must find a way to silence Stormy...

before the story gets out.

[NCjack]

41. A job for the Russian plumbers. nt

[Cartoonist]

8. Sarah just found out

Now she knows that loyalty to Trump means nothing. Everyone goes under the bus.

[hlthe2b]

10. Might this turn into a WWE wrestling grudge mat? !

Yikes

[DemoTex]

12. If so, she will whip his sorry ass.

IMO.

[bucolic_frolic]

11. Anger is cannibalistic

I won't stand in its way

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

14. Headline writers are going to needa new Thesaurus to keep up with Trump's emotions.

They've already used "angry," "annoyed," "mad," and now "furious." They still have "livid," "unhinged," and "foaming at the mouth."

[groundloop]

30. Unhinged is the most appropriate.... but that too will get old after awhile

In a way I feel somewhat sorry for these staffers (although they brought it on themselves by agreeing to work for 45*) because they can't possibly keep up with which lie they're supposed to tell for every possible story out there. 45* will NEVER accept any responsibility for his own screw-ups, it's always the messenger's fault.

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

47. Remember the snake story Trump told at CPAC?

The essence is don't expect someone to change the way they are just because they say they've changed.

Before he became president Trump was an arrogant, shallow, sociopathic, self-absorbed narcissist with absolutely no impulse control and a propensity to hold grudges, be vindictive and lie whenever he talked.

After he became president Trump is an arrogant, shallow, sociopathic, self-absorbed narcissist with absolutely no impulse control and a propensity to to hold grudges, be vindictive and lie whenever he talked.

"Oh no," the woman said, "you've bitten me and now I shall die!"

"Shut up, you stupid woman, you knew I was a snake before you took me in."

His staff knew or should have know what they were getting into before they clocked in at the WH the first day.

[beachbum bob]

15. the art of the deal forgot to sign the deal, oh the irony, and the karma

in the end, neither republicans or trump cares....but melania may be reaching a breaking point. How much self respect does she have left, if any?

[FakeNoose]

29. Do we know that he forgot? It might have been deliberate

I'm thinking Cheeto deliberately failed to sign the NDA agreement because he didn't want his name on it.
He wanted his lawyer to be stuck for the payout, and then it's all on him.
Great strategy, screw the only lawyer that still has your back!

[beachbum bob]

36. without being signed, there is no NDA

unless there was NDA between Stormy and the trump lawyer, which so far has not been talked about.

[machoneman]

16. I really want to see potty-mouthed Scaramucci take over sloe-eye's role.

At the very least the press would have a field day bleeping out all his swearing. That and the blasting of other WH staffers as he's sure to do. Fun times!

[Bengus81]

17. Nope Sarah....it's David Dennison,Trumps FAKE NAME when signing contracts with PORN stars...

[Corgigal]

25. and using a fake, fake name

for the porn star. All these imaginary people have some legal issues.

[TheCowsCameHome]

18. Look out! She'll knock him on his flabby ass.

Don't mess with Sarah.

[Paladin]

19. I just can't tell you how happy all this makes me.

Keep up the good work, Sarah honey.

[BeyondGeography]

20. Trump is such an asshole he makes Sarah Sanders momentarily worthy of sympathy

if only for a fraction of a second.

[Doodley]

21. It is always somebody else's fault.

[SunSeeker]

22. She would not have brought up the "arbitration win" if Trump did not tell her to say that.

He should be mad at himself, but he prefers to blame the woman. That's how he rolls.

[MFM008]

32. You are right!

Exactly.

[bitterross]

23. Why, Why, Really Why would anyone take that job in the first place?

If he doesn't fire her now it will only be because his aids tell him no one wants the job if she's gone.

I think Stephen Miller is probably the only person who comes to mind that would want to subject themselves to that job on a day-to-day basis.

At this point, even the most devoted followers of 45 have to be questioning the man and if it is a good idea, long-term, to be his front-person. They can't seriously all be that delusional can they?

[riversedge]

24. As Trump as said "too bad'

[DownriverDem]

26. Bye Bye

Will sarah be gone? Usually trump gets rid of folks that makes him mad.

[rurallib]

28. She might even lie too much for FUX to hire her

[C_U_L8R]

27. Y'know, if they just told the truth

they wouldn't have so much trouble keeping their stories straight.

[JenniferJuniper]

31. She's the best thing he has going for him in

the WH. She's a spectacular liar, spinner, and dodger.

But he'll still fire her. Sooner or later.

[titaniumsalute]

34. Maybe she will get on Rachel Maddow's wall now as well???

One can hope at least.

[C Moon]

40. :D Maddow has a wall of those who have left the admin.? That's hilarious!

[Sunriser13]

44. That must be one big wall, and I hope she ordered more pushpins...

... bulk buy bonus packs ... quite sure she'll be starting another wall before this is over!

[C Moon]

46. :D

[LovingA2andMI]

35. The Tears That Will Be Shed When This Backwards Huckberry Slob Is Terminated By Dump....

Are None....But This Will Happen...

and #HoldMyBeer

[NCjack]

43. Her daddy will go ballistic. nt

[mahina]

37. Bye Sarah Slanders

[Bradshaw3]

38. So drumpf's main surrogate liar did a bad job at lying

Oh what a tangled web ...

Even when lying the truth will sometimes come out. Therein lies the problem that comes with lying for a person does nothing but lie.

[C Moon]

39. When I hear news like this, I think Putin brought this to Trump's attention?

"This is not good, your Sarah Sanders talking about Lawyers..."
"Why? Why is it not good?"

[cyberswede]

42. ...and his being upset with her has given the story even MORE publicity

[Sunlei]

45. a president is held to a different standard for media statements. Thousands of woman trump exploited

should stand up and speak out, including any woman he currently grabbed or abused IN the white house.

That's all DU, back next week.

[Cha]

48. Heheeheheeeeehe..! LEGS on

Steroids

[Hekate]

50. If DTs made Sarah angry, she'll attack the Press Corps with her rogue eyebrow tomorrow.

Very scary thought.

[CTyankee]

52. "rogue eyebrow."

Exactly!
